摘要：
A procedure is proposed for estimating a parameter of an epidemic model from [measles] household data. The procedure is essentially a method of moments for martingales. It is computationally convenient and is less restrictive in its model assumptions than the maximum likelihood methods previously used. The approach is illustrated and is useful when households contain susceptibles of different types.
